how to chose fresh sardines

Post by bifas 1st darling! »

When you buy fresh sardines if they have a red mark by their gills they're probably yesterdays, chose the ones without the "gravata" and you can be sure you're getting really fresh fish. I buy my fish from Lagoa market the first stall on the left through the second door. Does that make sense?? :roll:

Yes it does B1D :)
and thanks for the tip..Ill have a go at some on sept visit!
The ovens in hol aparts don't have grills I think? How would I cook them on hot plate....or oven possibly?
I love sardinhas......and you've brought back nice memory of my days in Lagoa and visiting the market!
P.S. Im trying to remember the 'out of season' period? I ordered some for lunch in Lagoa rest. and my Port. friend said 'dont buy. not season'
?
